This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The unannounced key inspection took place over a period of seven hours during which all key standards were inspected and various other standards. The inspector was welcomed to the home by a senior nurse as the Registered Manager was on annual leave. She kindly joined the inspector for two hours in the afternoon to ensure that all the information was made available. The inspector spoke to eleven service users, two relatives and four members of staff as well as having a worthwhile discussion with the Registered Manager. The service users appeared satisfied with the service, with particular comments made about the Registered Manager and other members of staff. During a tour of the premises the inspector observed the care of other service users and the decorative state of the home. The inspector examined a variety of records including three recruitment records and four care records. There were five vacancies in the home on the day of the inspection. What the service does well:
Muscliff is suitably designed for the provision of full nursing care with thoughtful provision of disability aids which encourage and maintain maximum levels of independence. Privacy is of paramount importance. The provision of activities is imaginative and varied and geared to individual requirements. The meals are served with style and provide an interesting well balanced diet with real choice and special wishes catered for. One service user stated that the “food is good and plentiful”, another “food good but a bit rich” and another “chef does his best to accommodate”. The home has robust policies in place for the Protection of Vulnerable Adults and places great emphasis on equal opportunities for all staff and service users. The staff are offered training to improve their individual development as well as the mandatory training. The home is accredited for the adaptation of qualified immigrant staff and as a training placement for student nurses. The Registered Manager is highly motivated and communicates well with staff and service users through a planned programme of meetings, letters and notices. One service user stated that “can say if something not right”. DS0000020452.V296353.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection?

DS0000020452.V296353.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS
Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection DS0000020452.V296353.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home. No service user moves into the home without having had his/her needs assessed and been assured that these will be met. Service users and their representatives know that the home they enter will meet their needs. Prospective service users and their relatives and friends have an opportunity to visit and assess the quality, facilities and suitability of the home. Service users assessed and referred solely for intermediate care are helped to maximise their independence and return home. The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. The inspector found that the home had the correct systems in place, including a comprehensive statement of purpose, contract and preadmission assessment, to ensure that each service user is moving into a home that can meet their individual care needs. EVIDENCE: The service user guide has been thoughtfully produced and is written in simple English and includes the complaints procedure. It also informs the prospective service users that they will be visited prior to admission and then if the placement is appropriate for their needs, they are invited to visit the home for a two week trial period. One service user spoken to confirmed that his relatives had assisted with the placement but he had not actually had the opportunity to visit the home himself. DS0000020452.V296353.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The inspector examined the preadmission assessment records, which were usually carried out with the assistance of a relative or other representative, and found that each contained sufficient information to enable the Registered Manager to make a decision as to whether the home could meet the care needs. Some of the information seemed a little sparse but the Registered Manager was able to justify this. The home should write to the prospective service user to confirm this decision in line with regulation 14 (1)(d) of the Care Home Regulations 2001. The facilities available within the home are suitable for the category of service user accommodated, with qualified nurses and other skilled staff, access to specialised services, custom built well furnished rooms and appropriate health and safety provisions. The Registered Manager assured the inspector that she could meet specific minority requirements. Contracts are issued to service users, which specify terms and conditions, and the inspector found these to meet legislative requirements. The home does not offer intermediate care. DS0000020452.V296353.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Health and Personal Care
The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The service user’s health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care. Service users’ health care needs are fully met. Service users, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. Service users feel they are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Service users are assured that at the time of their death, staff will treat them and their family with care, sensitivity and respect. The Commission considers Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. There is sufficient information in the care plans to ensure that the care needs of individual service users are met. This was re-enforced by daily records, a variety of risk assessments and records of involvement by other professionals. The service users spoken to felt that they were treated with privacy and dignity. EVIDENCE: The inspector examined four care plans and found that there had been an improvement since the last inspection with particular regard equality and diversity. The care plans included comprehensive details of the following: Consent to photo Consent to resuscitation Full medical details Visits by General Practitioners and Consultants
DS0000020452.V296353.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Visits by multidisciplinary team National Health Service Nurse assessment Variety of Risk Assessments including Wound assessments Record of outings Etc. The daily records are kept in separate files and it was not always evident that there had been direct reference made to the care plans. There are also communication sheets for the use of the keyworkers. The care reviews are now more meaningful and are carried out frequently and involve the service user or their representative. The Registered Manager had written to all staff after the last inspection to alert them all to the importance of accurate consequential reporting. It was clear to the inspector that the service users had access to a variety of professionals including the Macmillan Palliative team, dentist, optician, chiropodist, occupational therapist and speech therapist and all other benefits as specified by the National Services Framework for Older People. Attention is given to anyone identified at risk of pressure sores and a suitable mattress supplied. The medication is administered competently by a dedicated member of staff who ensures that the ordering, dispensing and disposal of all medicines is in line with recommendations made by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. The fridge temperatures on the medicines fridge continue to cause concern which might compromise the status of the medication although recently the readings had been within recognised limits. A new fridge is currently on order. The inspector noted that doors were knocked and the privacy of the service users maintained at all times and the service users confirmed this. The staff treated all the service users with respect, calling them by the name of their choice. DS0000020452.V296353.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Daily Life and Social Activities
The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15.

Service users maintain contact with family/ friends/ representatives and the local community as they wish. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. Service users receive a wholesome appealing balanced diet in pleasing surroundings at times convenient to them. The Commission considers all of the above key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period.

The mealtimes are a focus of the day and the service users are offered an appealing well balanced diet which meets their nutritional requirements. EVIDENCE: Two full time activities organisers enable activities to be provided seven days a week. The service users spoken to were full of admiration for the Activities Organisers, who work with the service users to arrange a varied recreational programme, which includes visits to the beach, boat trips, outings to a garden centre as well as individual arrangements. The service users were very appreciative of even the most simple trips, such as around the pleasant gardens and also commented on the entertainers who come to the home on a regular basis and parties held within the home. There is a regular newsletter and posters which alert the service users to diary fixtures. There is a file which
DS0000020452.V296353.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 records contact with the community and letters from various church representatives which confirms that regular services are held within the home. Some service users are not willing or able to participate in these activities and their wishes, both emotional and spiritual are respected and identified in the care files. All have access to library books, newspaper, TV and radio. Visitors called at the home throughout the inspection and were welcomed by the staff. They could meet with the service user in the privacy of their own room or in one of the pleasant sitting rooms. Some service users had their own telephones and some used mobile phones. The service users felt that they had plenty of choice as regards the aspects of daily living and many had brought personal belongings into the home to personalize their rooms. Some looked after their own financial affairs and it was noted that an advocacy service was available. The dining room was exceptionally attractive with superior napery, attractive table settings and daily menus on each table. The menus were imaginative and the meal observed by the inspector was appealing, wholesome and individually designed for the needs of the service users with choice at every meal. Assistance was given by the care staff where required in a discrete and sensitive manner. The inspector spoke to the chef who identified food likes and dislikes and allergies for every new admission and also kept records of letters from dieticians. Special diets could be catered for. The kitchen was inspected by the Environmental Health Officer in December 2005 and a fan had subsequently been replaced. The cupboards identified more than adequate supplies of fresh food including fresh fruit and vegetables and a daily delivery from the butcher.
